After 10 years of notes-programming this week I took my first steps in the world of x-pages (thanks Lothar Müller).
Allthough highly resembling the good old notes-environment, many controll-options are not quite the way they were in the old designer.
My question for today: when creating a combobox with choices generated by a DbColumn(), in an x-page, how do I allow values not in list?
Thnx

Subject: Re: Alow Values Not In List
The comboBox is an HTML select, so only allows the user to pick from the options you define.
The usual way of allowing values not in list would be to use an edit box control with typeahead enabled. If you set the typeahead suggestions to pull from your @DbLookup, this will give the users the options, while also allowing them to enter values not in the list.
If you’re looking for useful resources to help you develop on XPages, the XPages blog has a number of links (Resources on the right-hand menu and Resources on the top menu go to different pages) and of course Declan Lynch’s Learning XPages course (just google it).
